Each weekend, Jennifer at Crazy-For-Books hosts the Book Blogger Hop. I've missed participating in the last few weeks because of vacation and just plain busyness. The Book Blogger Hop is a great way for book lovers and book bloggers to come together and discover new book blogs.
Recently Jennifer added a question to the Hop so we can get to know our fellow book bloggers better. This week's question is: Tell us about some of your favorite authors and why they are your favorites!
This one is hard for me because I have so many favorite authors! Right now I absolutely love Patricia Briggs because her world building is so complete, the characters have depth, and the stories are fast paced. Jim Butcher's Harry Dresden series has lots of action but includes humor at times as well. Kelley Armstrong and Kim Harrison are also favorites because they focus on strong female characters.
If you have hopped over from the Mr. Linky, Welcome! I hope you will stay a bit and look around. I review a wide range of books including (but not limited to!) urban fantasy, young adult, contemporary fiction, historical fiction, chic lit, cozy mystery, and some non-fiction. My monthly giveaway for July just started so you will want to check that out and see if anything interests you.

Just hoppin' in from the book hop. I've been recommended to read Patricia Briggs. I've heard that her writing is so fabulous that anything you read afterwords doesn't seem as grand. I've had her book on hold at the library for a bit. Can't wait for it to be available!

ReplyDeleteHello, stopping by on the hop. Looking forward to reading some of your reviews.
ReplyDeletejust hopping by..nice blog!!
ReplyDeleteHopping over from the book blogger hop to check out your favorite authors. I agree, it's hard because I have so many too, so that's why I only highlighted the common favorites my husband and I both have.
ReplyDeleteHello. Just stopping by. I like how you approach your reviews. I am now a follower. I have read any of your favorite authors, but I'm going to keep them in mind. Keep it shiny!
ReplyDeleteHi, I saw your site on the hop and seeing as I am new to blogging myself thought id drop by. You mentioned some authors that only in the last year I have been introduced to, i.e. Jim Butcher, Patricia Briggs, kelley Armstrong. After reading the Twilight Saga its good to see some strong female character. I will be sure to check your blog again.
